Kilvington IP Phones

The IT and Marketing teams locate at Kilvington Drive use NEC DT800 IP handsets as desk phones 

These phones are connected to the core switch stack in the Kilvington comms rooms and are configured to use VLAN mode on both the LAN and PC ports.

The phones are provided with an IP address via the DHCP server located on pbr-wsus-kl1.

The reason the handsets operate in VLAN mode is due to a bug with Cisco SG300 switches which causes the core stack to reboot in certain scenarios when using LLDP.
